Visitors can see that many parts of the site are still empty and the equipment is not installed in place. It is believed that the biggest highlight of the open day is that musk flew to the factory in person < p > nearly two years ago, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, an electric vehicle manufacturer, proposed to build the company's first super factory in Europe on the outskirts of Berlin. At that time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel also welcomed this, believing that this was enough to prove that "something can be achieved in a short time" in eastern Germany < p > however, the frequent protests of environmental protection organizations and the prevailing local bureaucracy have frustrated Musk's hope of shaking Germany's traditional automobile industry. The factory commencement plan has been delayed for several months. Musk even begged the local government to speed up the completion of the task through "positive process" < p > figure: public participation in Tesla Berlin super factory open day < / P > < p > in Tesla's Berlin super factory open day held on October 9, the public can see the warm atmosphere created inside the factory. Street artists, balloon artists and vendors flocked to provide 9000 visitors with a variety of food and entertainment, from meat tortillas to curry sausages < p > but except for the giant Ferris wheel and bumper car on site, Tesla has no other way to show that it tried to catch up with the record of building the whole Shanghai Super factory in 168 days < p > in the empty factory hall, only red and yellow assembly robots hum, and the mechanical action occasionally coincides with the electronic music played by nearby DJs. The unfinished paint workshop is also covered by cleverly arranged LED lighting and video devices < p > in the casting workshop of Tesla Berlin super factory, only a few staff wearing Tesla black jackets are responsible for looking after tourists. In addition, there is almost no vitality. The slogan that the Berlin super factory will bring economic benefits to Brandenburg is very eye-catching < p > although Tesla said that local residents were given priority when issuing tickets, there were still many Tesla fans from Greece, Norway, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Austria < p > for many people, the biggest highlight of the open day is Musk's appearance. He flew to the factory in a private plane and told the public that "12000 jobs will be created, maybe more" < p > "in fact, I'm a little worried that we can't hire enough people," Musk admitted. "We really need talented people from all over Europe or anywhere to help us create a new future." < / P > < p > his concerns were recognized by some visitors, who also saw the difference between Tesla Berlin super factory and dozens of factories operated by traditional German carmakers < p > "I don't know where he can find qualified workers," said visitor Michael Thomas. Thomas worked at Daimler factory in Stuttgart, Germany for decades until he retired. He wondered whether musk would "follow the German apprenticeship system" or "poach employees from other companies or train them in person" < p > Tesla has promised to establish 10 learning programs and become the largest apprentice employer in Brandenburg < p > illustration: Tesla factory robots are producing model y electric vehicles < / P > < p > but this guarantee has hardly played any role in appeasing Germany's powerful trade union organizations. German trade unions have repeatedly warned musk not to bypass the local traditional joint decision system, under which the company's employees are represented on the board of directors < p > "Tesla must abide by environmental laws, building regulations, of course, labor laws and trade union laws," Birgit Dietze, head of Ig metall Brandenburg branch, Germany's largest trade union, said recently. Others expressed concern about Tesla's recruitment from Poland. Critics say this could reduce average wages at companies such as Volkswagen and BMW < p > it is reported that the equipment of Tesla Berlin super factory is installed according to the temporary license, and the factory is still waiting for the formal approval of the local government < p > despite many troubles in the early stage of construction, musk told visitors that the factory would start production in "November or December", about 6 months later than the original plan. He added that this is a relatively "easy part... The difficulty is to achieve mass production" < p > analyst Matthias Schmidt said that after a disappointing 2020, Tesla's performance in the Western European market improved in the last quarter. In the three months to the end of September, the company delivered a record 45900 vehicles < p > Schmidt said that according to Austrian official data, almost all Tesla electric vehicles sold in the local market come from Shanghai Super factory, which also highlights the necessity of putting German factories into operation < p > neither Tesla nor musk responded to requests for comment < p > in terms of factory manufacturing plan, Tesla insisted that "the sales volume of electric vehicles produced by the Berlin super factory will be the same as that of the whole EU market last year", which is roughly equivalent to a body coming off the production line every 45 seconds < p > the equipment of body workshop, stamping and casting workshop has been installed in place, but there is almost no equipment in the hall containing the final automobile assembly line, only a few machines for assembling and installing seats "A lot of places are still empty," said Hubert, a 32 year old local resident. Another visitor from Berlin praised Tesla for "showing great transparency" in opening the factory to the outside world < p > Thomas, a former Daimler executive, said that there was "nothing new" on the open day. However, considering that Brandenburg is the base of German automobile industry, he believes that the production of the factory "must be very beneficial to the region" < p > the graffiti on the factory wall echoed this mood: "great, Elon!"
